System fonts for Korean language in MacOS X Panther

To:  Apple Computer Inc.

This letter is a petition to claim to Apple Computer Inc. from Macintosh users who are eager to have quality screen fonts for Korean language.

Apple already offers six Korean fonts which do not display Korean language exactly. The Korean fonts, in Panther, have not only misspelled or missing characters but also none of them includes bold and italic style. Those fonts are also very hard to read on screen.
Yes, there are no fonts which can display Korean language perfectly and very far from 'High quality fonts'.

Even though we¡¯ve been notice Panther includes improved Korean input method, Korean fonts offered by Panther cannot be utilized with the new input method. Thus, it leads many troubles.

Any Korean macintosh users have not be informed about font problem from Apple Inc. and Apple Inc. Korea. Only some early Panther adopters have reported that problem.

Korean Macintosh marketability might be not so important for Apple Computer Inc. However, there should be some sort of courtesy when selling something to others. We¡¯ve purchased and kept on using every released Mac OS on our computer, but the font problem hasn¡¯t been fixed yet since very first OS X released. Korean Mac consumer has their right to use an OS that can handle their own language properly.

We really want to buy, install and use Panther on our Mac, but the font problem is too serious to buy Panther.

Apple should offer at least two proper Korean fonts(Gothic and Myungjo) which can display correctly Korean language and work well with the new input method on Panther.
We think it's minimum courtesy for selling Macintosh and their software.

We KINDLY ask Apple Computer Inc. providing system fonts which could display Korean properly.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
